While there are many how believe this to be true, this is not necessarily true. If he is innocent, then there is nothing to come clean about.<BR/><BR/>Here in America at least, we believe that a person has a right to NOT incriminate himself. This means, to me at least, that even if Landis did dope, he has a right to contest this if he believes that violations of standards exist which bring the testing results into question.<BR/><BR/>In the long run, I don't think that the future of cycling is going to depend one way or the other on either Landis' actions or the final outcome of his case. The case will eventually reach a resolution, and will eventually drop out of the public mind. Many US sports have suffered through scandals and other events which have temporarily soured public perception. Point shaving in college basketball, strikes in baseball, football, and hockey, to name a few. These may have resulted in lowered attendance and tv ratings for a while, but things picked up eventually. The same will be true for cycling, IMHO.wscharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580006249706915137noreply@blogger.com
